VFC M249 Heat Shield — the piece that sits between your support hand and the barrel assembly. A factory replacement part for the M249 gas blowback LMG.

The heat shield is one of those parts nobody thinks about until it is cracked. On a belt-fed it takes the knocks that come with carrying a long, heavy gun through doorways and dropping it onto a bipod, and it is the one component standing between your forward hand and the barrel group.

This is the factory part for the VFC M249, bought as a single item rather than as part of a barrel assembly. If yours has split or gone missing during a strip-down, this is the straight swap.

VFC release it as a bare part with no accompanying data sheet, so the fitment below is all we are prepared to put our name to. Everything else on the page is left blank on purpose.

Good to know before you buy

This is a replacement for the VFC M249 specifically. The M249 pattern is shared across several makers and the parts are not interchangeable between them, so check what your gun actually is before ordering.

VFC do not release a drawing or a material callout for this part. If you need to know the exact polymer or the exact length before you buy, ask us and we will put the question to VFC rather than guess at an answer.

Frequently asked questions

What is it made of?
VFC do not state a material. We would rather tell you that than invent a figure.

Will it fit an M249 from another manufacturer?
We would not count on it. VFC list it for their own M249 and nothing else.

Does it include the mounting hardware?
It is listed as the shield alone. Plan on reusing the screws and clips off the old one.

Is this for the Para or the full-length M249?
VFC list one heat shield across the M249 family without splitting it by stock type.

💡 Titan Forge Airsoft tip: Running an M249? The magazines, box sets and stock kits for it are in Rifle Accessories, and the rest of the VFC range sits alongside them.
